  • [Press release] The Vegan Society Welcomes the Removal of Veganism from NHS Prevent [counter-terrorism] Training
  • merde merde Now 100%

    not trying to justify; it sounds, like you wrote, ridiculous.

    based on experience, knowing how confused most people are regarding vegetarianism and veganism + flexitarianism, pescetarianism and finally anti-speciesism—i was "offering" confusion, as an explanation, instead of nastiness or bad faith.

    this was an interesting article that's later casted to listen: why do people hate vegans?

    Why was veganism anywhere near terrorism?

    probably because of ALF 🤷

  • Mozilla to expand focus on advertising - "We know that not everyone in our community will embrace our entrance into this market"
  • merde merde Now 100%

    Advertising will not improve unless we address the underlying data sharing issues, and solve for the economic incentives that rely on that data.

    thanks to Mozilla for assuming the responsibility of improving advertising

    We can’t just ignore online advertising — it’s a major driver of how the internet works and is funded. We need to stare it straight in the eyes and try to fix it. For those reasons, Mozilla has become more active in online advertising over the past few years. - MARK SURMAN, PRESIDENT, MOZILLA source

    if we stay with that metaphor of "We need to stare it straight in the eyes and try to fix it", it's not difficult to imagine Mark and Mozilla being swallowed by the monster he's "staring straight in the eyes" :/

    i hope they can filter the shit Mozilla will include in Firefox from mull and mullvad

    She went on to work at eBay for 13 years, followed by PayPal, Skype, and Airbnb. source

    why would Mozilla choose to be directed by an ebay+paypal+airbnb experience and can somebody with that background not think like this ☞

    "Because Mozilla’s mission is to build a better internet. And, for the foreseeable future at least, advertising is a key commercial engine of the internet, and the most efficient way to ensure the majority of content remains free and accessible to as many people as possible."

    Fig sign - Offensive hand gesture

    The fig sign is a mildly obscene gesture that uses a thumb wedged in between two fingers. The gesture is most commonly used to ward off the evil eye, insult someone, or deny a request. It has been used at least since the Roman Age in Southern Europe and parts of the Mediterranean region, including in Turkish culture. Some countries in Asia, Slavic cultures and South Africa use it too. It is used playfully in Northwestern Europe and North Africa, countries such as the US, Canada, Australia, Libya, Tunisia and Czech Republic to pretend to take the nose off a child.

    Megaphone (formerly Panoply Media) is a Software as a service (SaaS) business owned by Spotify. The company provides software for podcast hosting and monetization as well as an ad network to generate additional revenue for podcast publishers.

    apparently they host their own content under a different name

    "The New Kingdom, also referred to as the Egyptian Empire, was the ancient Egyptian state between the 16th century BC and the 11th century BC. This period of ancient Egyptian history covers the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Dynasties. Through radiocarbon dating, the establishment of the New Kingdom has been placed between 1570 BC and 1544 BC. The New Kingdom followed the Second Intermediate Period and was succeeded by the Third Intermediate Period. It was the most prosperous time for the Egyptian people and marked the peak of Egypt's power."

I remember writing about prompts, when ballshapedman was active on this community, in contrast to his extremely descriptive prompts mine were like dada poems. when you include inpainting to this process, i would have to write a comment double, triple the size of this one under every image i post. I, understandably, can't.

    Ninger would buy bond paper from Crane & Company, in Dalton, Massachusetts, cut it to the same size as the $50 and $100 United States Notes he was copying, then soak the paper in a dilute coffee solution. He would align the paper over a genuine banknote, place the two on a piece of glass, and trace the resulting image. He used a camel’s hair brush to put colors on the note, imitated the silk threads with red and blue inks, and suggested rather than duplicated the intricate geometric lathework. **Notably, he omitted the line crediting the Bureau of Engraving and Printing from all of his bills, and some of them were also missing the counterfeiting warning**. When asked why he omitted the Bureau of Engraving and Printing credit on his bills, Ninger responded, "Because dey [sic] didn't make dem [sic]."
